Chapter 54: The Key to the Second Half!
Manchester United's players were celebrating the goal and City's players were ready to kick off.
Manchester City's players frowned, but they weren't too flustered.
This is their home turf, and they are both high-priced stars with a strong ability to control emotions.
All Manchester City's players realised if they didn't make a difference in the first half.
It was difficult to score two goals in a row in the second half.
Conversely, if you pull one back in the first half, the second half is relatively better.
Manchester United, who scored two goals, were more adherent to their previous strategy.
They launched an active ~ pressure in the midfield, pressing.
Manchester City also increased the speed of passing, and the pace of the game suddenly became faster.
"Yaya Toure... Navas... Aguero: Aguero !!! De Gea! Nice save!"
"Rooney!! Rooney shot from distance, oh, so dangerous, almost got in, if not touched by Zabaleta!"
“ Li Ao!! Nice pass!! Wilhelm smashes the ball and crosses underneath!! Kompany blocked it!"
"Li Ao! Slightly off!"
"Li Ao was defending David Silva, David Silva passed the ball, he now avoided a head-to-head confrontation with Li Ao, Yaya Toure came up and shot straight from distance!!!"
"Oh! High quality! Slightly above the beam!"
"Ashley Young scored the ball!! Sweep in front of the door! Rooney!! Aaaah! One step slower!! This ball is a bit fast, Rooney is a little bit late!!"
It was ten minutes since Manchester United scored their second goal until the end of the first half.
The two sides came and went, and the fight was quite lively.
The number of shots on goal also came up.
The number of shots in these ten minutes reached thirteen!
Much more than the number of shots on goal before.
But for Manchester City fans.
They very much regret that Manchester City failed to score in these ten minutes of seemingly open play.
On the one hand, of course, it is because of De Gea's wonderful performance.
On the other hand, it is because they also have to bear the pressure of Manchester United's attack.
Therefore, Manchester City did not dare to invest too many troops in attack, fearing that Manchester United would use the counterattack to score again.
Two balls behind, you can still fight.
Three behind.
It's basically over.
So Manchester City is buzzing here.
But in fact, the number of defenders is not much at all.
Looks like a rat thrower.
In this case.
The attack in front actually needs to rely more on the individual ability of the players to support it.
But the individual ability of players must play a role in a defensive system like Manchester United, unless they can play a very high-quality world wave - but it is said that it is a world wave, which is naturally easy to appear.
So.
After the end of the first half.
The score was still 0-2.
Manchester United away from home lead by two goals!
"The first half is over! Manchester United lead Manchester City by two goals at the Etihad Stadium! This score is unacceptable for Manchester City, who have won five in a row before this, and if they lose this game, not only will the five consecutive wins be interrupted, but they may also be equalized by Liverpool in points... Manchester United also took the opportunity to reduce the difference to two points!"
"In the second half, Manchester City's side will definitely attack aggressively, and it can be said that the competition between the two sides in the second half will become more intense!"
The two sides walked off the field amid the cheers of the fans.
At the end of the first half, after the players from both sides returned to the dressing room.
The guests of major TV stations also began to analyze and predict the first half.
Li Ao, who performed extremely well in the first half, became the focus of everyone's discussion.
Many media outlets believe that United were able to score two goals in the first half while conceding zero goals.
Li Ao is a great contribution.
He is the best player on the pitch at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
...... Ask for flowers...
Some pro-Manchester City media believe that the yellow card Li Ao is carrying may become a hidden danger for him in the second half.
Li Ao's importance to Manchester United is self-evident.
It can even be said.
There is no Li Ao.
Manchester United are two completely different teams.
So, from that point of view.
Li Ao's yellow card is a real nuisance for Manchester United.
If Li Ao is sent off.
Then Manchester City will definitely be able to launch a Jedi counterattack!
Of course.
There are also pro-Manchester United media who give Manchester United fans a record of great peace of mind: "Since 1986, Manchester United have led into half-time games with a lead in the first half and have not lost!"
0
This record is indeed quite powerful.
Even with such turbulence last season, this record has not been broken.
So many Manchester United fans feel a lot more relieved when they hear the media say this.
But data is just data.
Past records don't apply to today's game.
Therefore, such words can only be used to comfort the fans.
After the game, some of England's scouts were all righteous.
In the second half, Manchester City won and played Li Ao with determination.
Although Li Ao is strong.
But no matter how strong he is, there will be times when there will be mistakes.
As long as you keep attacking him at this point.
It will definitely force him to foul and get him a yellow card in the second chapter.
If Manchester City don't want to continue to be counter-attacked, come on!!"
Scholes is very confident in his former teammates.
The opinions of the commentators and guests, as well as some senior media professionals, were very divided.
But one thing is certain.
That is the focus of the second half, the key person people are watching, or Li Ao!
Manchester United's side should give full play to the role of Li Ao.
And Manchester City's side wants to launch a Jedi counterattack, the best way is to get Li Ao down! Mountain!.
